ELNET ESSIONS
Telnet is a terminal emulation TCP/IP protocol. ASCII terminals can be virtually connected to the local device through a TCP/
IP protocol network. Telnet is an alternative to a local login terminal where a remote login is required.
The switch supports up to five simultaneous telnet sessions. All CLI commands can be used over a telnet session.
The Telnet Session Configuration page allows you to control inbound telnet settings on the switch. Inbound telnet sessions
originate on a remote system and allow a user on that system to connect to the switch CLI. To configure outbound telnet
settings, which are telnet sessions that originate on the switch to access a remote system, see
Configuration" on page 94.
To display the Telnet Session Configuration page, click LAN > Administration > Telnet Session in the navigation tree.

• If you change any of the telnet parameters, click Submit to apply the changes to the system. If you want the switch to

Description
Specify how many minutes of inactivity should occur on a telnet session before the
session is logged off. You may enter any number from 1 to 160. The factory default is
5.
Note: When you change the timeout value, the new value is applied to all active and
inactive sessions immediately. Any sessions that have been idle longer than the new
timeout value are disconnected immediately.
From the drop-down menu, select how many simultaneous telnet sessions to allow.
The maximum is 5, which is also the factory default. A value of 0 indicates that no
outbound Telnet session can be established.
Controls whether to allow new telnet sessions:
• Yes: Permits new telnet sessions until the maximum number allowed is reached.
• No: New telnet sessions will not be allowed, but existing sessions are not
disconnected.
Administrative mode for inbound telnet sessions. Setting this value to disable shuts
down the telnet port. If the admin mode is set to disable, then all existing telnet
connections are disconnected. The default value is Enable.
